Expert reviews
“A soothing oasis of calm in the heart of the old judería, this delightful hotel charms with its ceramic-tiled lobby, period furniture and collection of musical instruments. Rooms, named after composers, are equally stylish, and there’s a small rooftop terrace offering views over to the Giralda.”
Featured as Lonely Planet’s Top Choice in Seville.
“With regular classical concerts, a music room off the central patio, and instruments for guests to use, including pianos in some of the soundproofed rooms, this 18th-century manor house is ideal for touring professional musicians and music fans in general.”
Featured as Fodor’s Choice in Seville.
“This friendly, family-owned hotel is hidden down a tiny alley in Barrio Santa Cruz, filled with musical instruments and memorabilia – from electric violins to a 16th-century harp – plus sound-proofed piano rooms. There’s a delightful roof terrace with breakfast room, bar and hot tub-with-a-view.”

All you need to know
Hotel Amadeus is a family-owned hotel in the Barrio Santa Cruz neighborhood, only a ten-minute walk from Alcazar and the cathedral. Situated in a pedestrian-only alleyway, this hotel is between two Jewish Quarter streets, and is just down the street from two museums: Casa de Salinas and Museum Bellver.
Comprised of two traditional Sevillano houses, this hotel features a variety of period decor, including elegant sofas, antique chairs, and other traditional furniture. More notably, this hotel’s theme centers around music, which you will notice throughout the artwork and instruments on display, like electric violins, a 16th-century harp, and an accordion. Each room is named after a composer, and even rehearsal rooms are available.
Rooms are decorated with a neutral color palette, white linens, wooden furniture, and music-themed artwork. Some rooms have hydraulic floor tiles, street-facing balconies, or courtyard balconies. Most rooms have hydrotherapy tubs, and the remaining have showers. The most secluded room option is Room 301, featuring a charming terrace decorated with plants.
Hotel Amadeus serves breakfast in your room, in the rooftop dining room, on the roof terrace, and on the ground-floor salon. The spread includes fruit, pastries, yogurt, boiled eggs, a mini quiche, and fresh fruit. You can order wine, cocktails, and cakes on the rooftop bar. Room service is also available, but is paid separately to an outside company.
The small hot tub on the rooftop terrace is one of the best places to relax in this hotel. WiFi is available throughout the hotel, even on the roof.

Great hotel, lovely comfortable room, nice staff, great location
Great hotel stayed in January and still enjoyed drinks on the rooftop in the evening. Lovely scenery and great location.
It took some time to locate the bar man but once he was found he stayed by the bar

Lovely ambience
Excellent location, close to all the sights and many restaurants. Copious and, unusually these days, fully waitress-served breakfast. Friendly and helpful staff. Roof terraces are beautifully designed. Tasteful furnishings in the public rooms.
Our room was smaller than we expected for a superior double room, which was advertised as having an extra bed or space for one, though there was not.

Hotel in the old centre, not easy to access by car, within walking distance to cathedral
Location is very central within walking distance to cathedral and Tapas bars, rooms big enough, service is good, overall music instruments in the Hotel, fashionable
Little bit tricky to get there by car due to the narrow streets, but car parking close by with rather good explainion, ants in the room

The location of the hotel for the central sights of Seville is fantastic. The breakfast which we took every day was perfect and really filled you up for the day. The hotel terrace bar was also very affordable.
There is nothing i can think of that we didn't like.

A decent 4 star, good hot tub and pool area, very well situated, staff attentive.
Poor breakfast, after day one we ate out. Overall price needs to be keener for us to go back, there's better elsewhere.

Perfect boutique hotel in old town.
Fantastic location in the old town, so close to great restaurants, bars, the Cathedral and the Real Alcazar. The hotel was spotlessly clean, and really lovely. Lots of small areas to sit in down stairs, and a lovely roof top terrace with view of the Cathedral. The breakfast was lovely too, good value for the amount of food brought to the table (it is not a buffet). There is also a jacuzzi and small pool on the roof. I would highly recommend this hotel to anyone!

An enjoyable return visit
Our room was a very good size with comfy chairs to relax in after a day on one’s feet. A huge bed. Plenty of hot water for the shower. Coffee maker in the room. The breakfast was excellent, and served to each table with just enough to have variety and quantity to suit. Location suited us as it was close to the car parking and an easy walk with a suitcase. It was also quiet. We enjoyed cocktails at the roof top bar - even in January it was a little warmer than the streets around!
Nothing to complain about.

Perfect, thank you Amadeus !
Perfect location, calm and stylish atmosphere, kind personnel. This is a music themed hotel, with classical instruments and soft piano music around. Our room had a spacious terrace. We walked for miles and miles, so the jacuzzi on the roof was very welcome. I spent there one evening during a slight drizzle, while looking at a purple sky. It was very moving. Sevilla was home because of this hotel. Also a plus: you can use the swimming pool all year round.
Our room (301) was directly under the rooftop terrace, so footsteps can be heard quite clearly. We were there in off season so it was quiet anyway, but for light sleepers in high season it might be not the best room. Also the ceiling in the room was peeling a little, but this is a minor detail.

Loved the property! It was gorgeously decorated and very cozy. Little oasis in the city!
We had a room on top of reception and it was a bit noisy at check in times.

It was quite centrally located. The staff were very friendly and ofcrse the hotel was beautiful. While we were there, there was a girl( guest) who played the piano beautifully and it added character to the hotel.

We loved staying at Amadeus! The hotel is so unique and beautifully decorated. It met our every need and exceeded our expectations. Staff was friendly, knowledgeable and super helpful. One highlight was the rooftop bar with a beautiful view of the Giralda. We were able to enjoy the fireworks there on New Year's Eve :) And its location, walking distance to all Seville's top sites, can't be beat. Highly recommend!

Unique property at an ideal location with attentive and friendly staff.
The breakfast was excellent and the staff was friendly. The well laid out food was welcoming sight every morning. Reception staff were attentive and responsive all the time, and helpful to our queries.
The rooms had a musty smell but understand that they are well maintained old historical properties. The mattress and pillows could be more comfortable too.

Excellent
The location is 5 minutes from the cathedral and bars. The staff were all excellent, very helpful. The hotel is beautifully decorated. Breakfast was good, not buffet style if that's what you prefer. The roof top bar has amazing views and an added bonus with pool and jacuzzi. Overall this was brilliant and would definitely recommend.
Down side was you can sometimes hear other people in the hotel, only because of the tiled floors and walls but it wasn't disturbing its just an observation.

Beautiful and atmospheric hotel in the heart of Seville
The hotel is absolutely gorgeous - lovely design and beautiful old features. It’s spotlessly clean. The jacuzzi was gorgeous after a long day of sightseeing. The pool looked lovely but I didn’t get a chance to try it. The staff were super helpful and friendly. The location couldn’t be better! We’ll definitely stay here again

Excellent Hotel in Excellent Location
Location is perfect for visiting old town Seville. Breakfast is interesting and good. Everyone gets the same, with some changes daily. The hotel is decorated very well with musical instruments. Many cosy spots to read or chat throughout. The building is old, of course, but there were lots of plugs near the bed!
The bathroom arangement in our junior suite was odd. A bathtub right in the sleeping room! (But a nice shower in its own room).

Wonderful stay in a beautiful hotel.
The Amadeus is a beautiful hotel in the best and most convenient location. The beds were exceptionally comfortable and the room spacious. The staff were lovely and accommodating providing us with a kettle. One of our party had a significant birthday and they very kindly provided us with some sparkling wine.
Some of the plug sockets didn’t work but it wasn’t an issue as there were plenty.

The hotel was beautiful, the staff were all extremely friendly.
The room faced an inner court yard and was quite dark. There are rooms that are much brighter and if staying again I would reserve one of those.

This is a wonderful, characterful hotel in an excellent location in Seville. The staff are very helpful and friendly and the hotel has a range of comfortable sitting areas downstairs and sun terraces on the roof as well as a small pool, jacuzzi and rooftop bar. It's a very relaxing and peaceful place to stay.

A lovely stay in an atmospheric and beautifully building scented building
Fabulous location, ideally situated in the centre. The outdoor jacuzzi was great ! I loved the hairdryer, the weighing scales along with the kettle provided and the fresh towels changed daily.
The toiletries/ drinking water and milk were not replaced as a matter of course. An extra blanket in the room would have been appreciated. Breakfast was good but options were limited; eg fruit.
